Virtual Backpack will include such postings as flyers from local organizations, school newsletters and information from PTA.
If you are interested in submitting information for posting, please complete the Virtual Backpack Flyer Request Form at least two weeks in advance of the requested posting date. Approval of the materials is at the discretion of the Office of the Superintendent of Schools. Please click on Guidelines for additional information.
